Ever since I got home from the hospital on September 11th the hardest thing for me has been to get a decent night of sleep. I could not get comfortable in any position. Lying on my left side I had to deal with my weaker left leg. On my right side I had problems trying to get comfortable due to my hip. A lot of times my knees bother me after a day of activity. I cannot seem to get myself to sleep flat on my back. When I did manage to drop off I was waking up from dreams of something trying to kill me which is disturbing. I am sure the dreams are accident related.
About a week ago I started to be able to sleep through the night. I was starting to be resigned to never sleeping well again. The last few mornings I feeling damn good when I wake up. I hope it continues.
after dealing w/ a hip replacement, rotator cuff repair and now prostate cancer which has metastisized to the bone i have found that the best place for me to get sleep is my recliner. i've always been a side sleeper but falling asleep in the chair while watching t.v. has trained me to change.
ReplyDeleteGod I am so sorry to hear that.
ReplyDeleteThat's great! I hope your improved sleeping pattern continues too. The world always seems like a much better place after a good night's sleep.
